Abstract
Surface analytical methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spe ctroscopy (XPS) were used to study the surface properties of several n oble metal casting alloys which are used as core materials for fixed p rosthodontics. In particular surface morphology, surface segregation, and oxide formation were studied as the key parameters influencing the adhesion properties between alloy and ceramic veneer.
